Arrival Story:
We were driving in Guerrero, Mexico and stopped to look at the view because the surroundings were so beautiful and the road was very windy and had lots of traffic with big trucks. We were enjoying the view, when we looked down at our feet...and our lives changed. There was a very tiny little puppy, covered in ticks and fleas. He was all bones and very scared. We brought him some water and he wouldn't drink, wouldn't eat. He tried to walk away from us and was so weak he couldn't walk. We wrapped him in a towel and took him to the vet in Taxco. The vet declared him basically healthy, just starving and dehydrated. So we took him to our hotel room, nursed him slowly to health, and continued on our roadtrip with him. By Puebla, he was walking around and by Palenque his tail was up and he was feeling pretty good.
At first we thought he was a chihuahua, but he's quadrupled in size since we found him...we think he's a mix of a Xolo and a Pit bull, but we really have no clue.
Bio:
URL adopted his sister, Mali, in April 2006 and now they are inseparable.

Mali and I just moved to a new house with our parents, who insisted on bringing the cats too. I'm not sure why they bothered as there are plenty of cats in the neighborhood. Soon after we moved in, they learned to be very careful coming into our yard... because two very mean and very fast dogs live here now. We haven't caught one yet, but we will! The minute mom wakes up every morning, she lets us out the back door and we race into the backyard to find the cats. It's so much fun!
Our daily walks take us past the zoo every morning now. I am absolutely fascinated by those horses with stripes, the horses with the reallllly long necks that are very very tall, the horses with big feathers and buggy eyes and especially by those horses with curly horns. They have a LOT of horses at the zoo! I sure wish I could go inside!!
We go to the park instead, which isn't half bad. I get to chase birds and be chased by Mali. And when the park maintenance dudes aren't looking, I jump in the fountain. It's as big as a pool and I swim around the fountain and do laps. It's a lot of fun but the maintenance dude don't seem to appreciate how much fun it is. They should try it sometime.
Hey, today they sent my mom an email saying that I'm Dog of the Day! Silly people... don't they know I'm ALWAYS Dog of the Day around here?

I'm a year and a half old now. I've developed a very VERY loud bark when I'm mad or startled or just trying to defend Mom and Dad. I always bark at least once when someone comes to the door, just to let them know I'm here and they had better not try anything funny.
Mali is my sister. She can be a real pain in the neck sometimes, but really, I don't know what I would do without her. She steals my bones sometimes, which drives me crazy. And she's so good at chasing a ball, I don't even bother anymore. She runs faster than me, can you believe that? I thought I was fast, but she's faster.
We have a nice life now. Mom & Dad have told us we're going to live in a bigger house someday, but we don't quite understand what they are talking about. And we're happy where we are. We're happy dogs, for sure!

By the way, Ellen said to mention that there are a lot more dogs like me in the Yucatan (in case anyone reading this lives there). And there's a great place called AFAD that keeps them safe and finds good homes (like mine!) for them. Ellen wrote a story about AFAD and the dogs of the Yucatan and you can read it here:

We hope you'll support them and all the other kind people trying to do good things for the dogs of Mexico.
